Accepted Answer

RM3 Million Allocated for New Lookout Point in Taman Bukit Setiwangsa

An allocation of approximately RM3 million has been designated for the construction of a new lookout point in Taman Bukit Setiwangsa. This lookout point is integrated into the broader RM26.2 million project aimed at reconstructing a collapsed slope in the area. The combined cost for the slope reconstruction and the lookout point amounts to RM23.2 million, funded through contributions from Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), I&P Sdn Bhd, and the government.
Project Commencement and Progress

Construction for the lookout point and the slope reconstruction officially began on April 28 of the previous year. As of January 31, the project had achieved a 50 percent completion rate. The anticipated completion date for the lookout point is July of the current year.
Purpose and Safety Considerations

The lookout point is envisioned by Kuala Lumpur Mayor Datuk Seri Ahmad Phesal Talib to serve as a new attraction for both local and international tourists. To ensure the safety of the public during construction, close collaboration is underway with the residents’ association. Maintenance work has been carried out, and the construction of the lookout point will proceed following approval from the Institute of Public Works Malaysia.
Resident Feedback on Construction Route

The Puncak Setiawangsa Residents Association has expressed satisfaction with the overall reconstruction efforts. However, concerns have been raised regarding the proposed access route for the lookout point. Residents advocate for the access to be from the bottom, rather than utilising Jalan Puncak Setiawangsa as the primary route, to guarantee the safety of the local community.
